2x-25=x+5 move your “x” on the right side to the left side but to move it you need to switch the sign to cancel it out on the right. That ends up giving you x-25=5. You want X by itself so you move over your “25” but also change the sign. Giving you x=30
To find your y you set the equation to 0. 9y+28=0. You want Y by itself, so you want to move the 28 over first. Switch the sign which gives you 9y=-28. To get y alone divide by 9. 28/9 = 3.1(repeating 1)
